During the summer, I had this drink at Starbucks ( I think it was a summer special?). I tried to order it the other day, and no such luck! Does anybody know how this drink is made or what tea bag was used?
I tried the Berryblosson white tea (non-sweetened) and it isn't the same.

Starbucks doesn't have white iced tea on their menu. The only white tea they have is the one you mentioned, the berryblossom, but it is only available in bags.
It could be that someone there was playing around with the berryblossom and was trying it iced and offered you a taste. When I was a barista, we experimented with stuff all the time. I especially liked to try the different teas iced.
Go to the same Starbucks you had it at and ask them about. Also, you can try sweetening the berryblossom different ways.

I remembered seeing this drink. I believe it was a summer special type thing. I liiked it up ontheir site. Here is the nutrition information. http://www.starbucks.com/retail/nutrition_beverage_detail.asp?selProducts=%7B2C1D165A%2D47E9%2D4965%2D9329%2D8F368808C3C1%7D
Tazo's Berry Blossom White tea has Bluberries and white cranberries in it.

It was a summer drink although there are still some stores that still offer it (while they still have the tea) once they run out it won't be on the menu anymore.

I just started working at Starubucks, and we don't have that drink right now, but I think I know why it doesn't taste the same when you make it. In the store, when we make the iced teas, we pour a certain amount of the tea into a shaker, then add water (more than the amount of tea), then sweetener if you want it, then ice….THEN it is shaken up. If you don't do it this way, it's not going to taste right. I brought some of the green tea home to make some once and it took me 3 tries to get it right b/c I didn't have a shaker…i ended up stirring vigorously with a knife…
Next time you go, ask them about their shakers, b/c the measurements are them…maybe you can buy one.
